Over the past 25 years, the Show has been providing a professional trading platform for the most influential textile machinery markers and also the textile industry.

Amidst of the rapid market change, ShanghaiTex is continuously developing into a market-oriented trading platform. With tremendous growth of textile industry in China through the past decades, "Textile Factory of the World" is a title directly revealing China's state of play.
